University Community Unites in Support of Immigrants

On Thursday, Nov. 13, The University of Scranton is joining a nationwide Catholic public witness for immigrants. The feast day of the patron saint of all immigrants, Mother Cabrini, will be celebrated on this day.

Rev. Joseph G. Marina, S.J., University president, will preside at Mass at 4:30 p.m. at The University of Scranton’s Madonna Della Strada Chapel. A procession will follow downtown Scranton with a gathering and public witness on Courthouse Square (N. Washington Avenue side) to take place at 5:30 p.m. All are welcome.

The event is co-sponsored by The University of Scranton, Marywood University, Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers, IHM Sisters - Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Catholic Social Services of the Diocese of Scranton and St. Ann’s Passionist Monastery.

The national initiative is led by many Catholic organizations, including Jesuits ISA East, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB,) and the Ignatian Solidarity Network.
